Hello, I'm now offering a sticker where all proceeds will go toward a Gazan evacuation fund. By all proceeds, I mean that the full amount you spend will go toward the fund, and I will cover the cost of materials and shipping. I will provide proof of donations periodically.

The minimum amount is $5.50, which is about the minimum donation amount of €5. There is also an option to donate more if you would like to.

I chose the campaign linked below using the Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet, also linked below. I was drawn to this family's plight because, like the organizer, I also have five siblings and a young niece. They've raised over 90% toward their goal at this point. Please consider helping them gain that last little bit by either buying the sticker or making an independent donation. Thank you for reading!

I zoned out and thought about that 3D CGI Zim floating completely motionless through space in the Planet Jackers episode and started cackling at 12 am

(I could only add this from my iPad and not in a reblog, but manually editing it in)

How to speak Irken? I've tried writing it and even looking up ASL (American Sign Language) for Irken, but I forgot it all! <=(

INVADER ZIM FANDOM!!!!!!!! DRAW DIB WITH FINGERLESS GLOVES AND/OR BLACK PAINTED NAILS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[defectzim]

Irken with a shotgun NIGHTCORE!!!!!!!

[izzydrawsforfun]

Hope this doesn't sound like an attack! But could you tell us why you draw ZaDr in that very conventionally attractive manner? With Zim being tall and daddy and Dib being super cute, all of that? The family theme too is very cute! Very different from general Invader Zim content lol

Oh, sure thing! And dont worry it doesn't sound like an attack xD

Well, the long answer is: I enjoy taking a piece of media and spin it to something that is the complete opposite of it's theme. So, in the case of Invader Zim, I like taking the very dark show and dark characters and make them... Cute. And alongside it I love cute themes too, so it all evens out xD. I love fanart and fanfics that go to a different direction from the source material for no reason other than pure indulgence. Indulgence is one of the main subjects of art, and fan art as a whole, and I love to see how far we, as creators, can go with AUs and designs

And the short answer is:... It's fun to me xD I have a lot of fun drawing Zim and Dib in that way and make the two of them be softie goofy fuckers

But that's just with my artwork. I follow IZ artists that draw and write them much closer to Canon and keep the dark themes on, and I think that's FANTASTIC!!!!....... And if the show ever stopped being dark and edgy it wouldn't be any fun anymore. Hence why I don't ever want a Invader Zim reboot for the love of the gods DON'T TOUCH HIM

BEING PAKLESS AND DYING IS SAD. BUT. YOU NOT INTERACTING IS WORSE.

That was a lie, ZIM enjoys living more than you talking to him.

[verm1c1de]

i mean to be fair is it really cheating if theyre both into you i feel like it counts as something else at that point

Something I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone talk about before is how Invader Zim is one of the funniest goddamn series ever created and it hardly ever relies on snark or sarcasm for its humor.

Like, people talk about the Whedonizing of modern media where everyone is constantly snarking and quipping at each other and undermining their own narratives with bathos and winks to the audience to let them know they’re self-aware about how stupid everything is so we can think they’re cool instead of “corny”.

But IZ never does that. IZ doesn’t care about making its characters look cool. They’re supposed to be losers, so it’s okay for everyone to be unabashedly, passionately self-serious about everything, no matter how stupid. GIR, the character most beloved for generating the most laughs, is never sarcastic at all. He is simply not capable of it. All the jokes surrounding GIR are based on him acting like a hyperactive puppy combined with a hyperactive toddler. Zim and Dib do not "trade barbs", they throw lame schoolyard insults back and forth and taunt each other with threats of a horrible fate. They do not make smug, snide remarks about how stupid everyone else is, they rant and rave about how disgusted they are with everyone's stupidity. Even Gaz, whose main character trait is apathy, doesn't really make sarcastic comments or "quips" often. Most of what she says is just variations on "You're bugging me, go away". And it's not for the sake of being cool. Gaz isn't self-conscious and putting down Dib's dorky interests to distance herself from him, she's just genuinely annoyed. She's not truly detatched and dispassionate. She is constantly teetering on the edge of losing it because she actually does care, a lot. It's just that what she cares about is being left alone with her video games, her pizza, and her dad.

The only character on the show I’d describe as habitually sarcastic is Ms. Bitters, and her apathy isn’t meant to be “cool” either. She’s just punching down at children to demoralize them because she’s a miserable old bitch.

Ironically, IZ came out with FOP, and 80% of Butch Harman's sense of humor is making bad, unfunny puns and then having characters groan and sigh and roll their eyes at how bad the puns were as if that makes it any funnier.
